    Anybody ever reuse RV antifreeze?

    I know RV antifreeze is cheap but last spring when I dewinterized my TT I drained the antifreeze from my fresh tank back into the bottles the antifreeze came in. I got back about 4 1/2 of the 6 gallons I started with SO, does anybody see any problems with reusing last years antifreeze again?

    Antifreeze inlet

    Took the trailer out this weekend and had my son help me get it it all hooked when we arrived at the park. Went to turn on the water inside and had nothing so walked around to inlet and noticed he had hook up the fresh water hose to the antifreeze inlet and turned the water on. Just wondering is...

    RV Antifreeze

    I winterized my Coachmen Freedom Express last October (2019) with -75 degree Splash antifreeze. I won't be using the RV at all this year. Will the antifreeze that is in the lines currently be okay or should I re winterize with new antifreeze. I live in Michigan so the winters get below freezing

    Antifreeze in tanks

    Hello all, :trink39: Staying home for now due to Covid. Just wondering? Is there any problem leaving antifreeze in my tanks for an extended period or should I drain and refill next winter? Thanks, :confused:

    Antifreeze hose?

    Is there a hose to the pump to winterize the trailer with antifreeze? I didn't see anything around the pump so thought id ask.

    antifreeze odor from heater

    When driving my 2010 Charleston there is a distinct antifreeze odor coming out of the cab heater. The radiator is low on coolant about every 3000 miles in the amount of 1.5 gallons. Put it in shop two years ago, but no leak was discovered. Odor most noted when up to speed on the road on a cool...

    Antifreeze seeping out of water heater during winterizing

    Hi Everyone, 2 weeks ago, during the last stop of our spring north migration, I stopped over to do winterization. I followed my usual routine which involves closing the intake tap of the water heater, draining all the water, cold and hot, and pumping anti-freeze in the plumbing. This time...

    Winterizing with antifreeze and fresh water tank.

    I have a 2019 Isata 3 24FW. I'm about to winterize and the owner's manual recommends to add enough antifreeze to be above the minimum fill in the fresh water tank (if I use that method). How do I know what that amount is? How many"gallons" of antifreeze?

    Dewinterizing with External Antifreeze Access

    Can I use buckets of clean water & use the antifreeze pump to clear antifreeze from lines? Thinking that this will avoid need to fill fresh water tank. Have a couple of 5 gal buckets to fill with clean water and use same procedure as winterizing it. Thanks for input

    How do you get antifreeze into water tank

    I have a 32ss Mirada and I'm wondering how to get antifreeze and sanitizing solution into the fresh water holding tank. My old motorhome just had a spout that you poured it into.

    Antifreeze port

    I have a 2018 Sandpiper with an antifreeze inlet. The instructions say close the tank valve and open the inlet valve. I assume that means the antifreeze hose but I am not sure.. Then just turn on the pump switch inside. I have already drained all the lines, set the heater bypass switch, drained...

    Cannot get pump to pull antifreeze into lines

    I have a 2019 Cardinal Luxury 3350 RLX, I have tried every thing I know to try and winterize my unit. I have followed the instructions and still cannot get the pump to pull the antifreeze thru the line. I tried holding the bottle of antifreeze higher than the pump, I used a funnel and poured...

    Antifreeze Winterization Valve

    Hello FR community. Does anyone know the part number and where to buy the 3 way barbed valve used so the water pump can draw directly from an antifreeze bottle? I would like to add it to my trailer to make winterizing easier. Thanks in advance Scott

    Can’t get my water pump to draw from antifreeze bottle

    Just blew out my water line and put the extended hose into a new bottle of antifreeze. Turned on the water pump. Turned the valve to be inline and opened a calf water faucet and it won’t draw in any fluid. Unless it takes a while in which case I need to wait? Pump is definitely running...

    Last step in Winterize, drain antifreeze.

    My best buddy works as a technician for a major RV sales/service company. He tells me that when they winterize campers (and they do hundreds) with antifreeze, the last step they do is drain all the antifreeze from the Low Point drains. He claims there is no real reason to keep all the...

    winterizing a 21'

    We are about to put our 2019 21' into storage. We have to winterize the water lines because the weather here may get below -30 F. Up until now, on our 19', we used a compressor and blew the lines out. That worked well when we remembered to do ALL of the lines (forgot the outside shower one...

    Water pump not sucking up antifreeze

    I installed the camco pump converter kit. When I turn on the pump it's not sucking antifreeze from the jug. The valve is in the bypass position so it shod be sucking from the jug. Pic attached.

    Pump not picking up Antifreeze very well

    We just bought a brand new Sabre 32DPT. It has some nice features for winterizing: an easy HWHtr bypass, and a winterization bypass so you can pull directly from the antifreeze container. I found that the pump had some trouble picking up the antifreeze and it seemed to cavitate quite a bit as...

    Winterization question, running antifreeze through water pump

    I just bought a 2019 grey wolf 26dbh a couple months ago and am trying to winterize it. Im pretty sure the dealer said i can just put a line into the antifreeze jug as I would like to avoid putting antifreeze in my FW tank. I am attaching a photo of the water pump and lines, do I need to add a...

    Water Dripping from Antifreeze Inlet

    Hi all... Can't say I've seen this problem posted here. I have a 2017 Flagstaff Micro Lite 21 FBRS. When I plugged in the water line and turned the water on, I saw I had water dripping from the inlet used to pour in Antifreeze (states the sticker above the inlet). No doubt a stuck valve...
